Beginning Monday, readers of the Star-Banner’s features sections will notice several changes that are part of our redesign. First, the features section’s name has changed to “Life,” followed on some days by a particular focus. The motivation behind the changes is to deliver to readers expanded news coverage — from local writers and our wire services — that is relevant and timely.
